So I wanted an Izula for my B-day and the wife unit said it was fine. I couldn't decide on a color so I never ordered it. After getting a lot drunk and hanging out in the Chat, someone suggested a color to me and I ordered my knife. My brother texted me a pick of his Izula that he had just received, and that pushed me to finally ordering mine.

To my surprise, when I got up in the morning I had ordered Orange!!!! That was not the plan. I couldn't decide between the FDE and black. The beer goggles made the orange look good (I think)? After returning and asking around in the Chat, I found out that CricketDave was the one that talked me (suggested) into orange.

The wife unit made me wait till my B-day to open it. I just got it last night and have only be able to use it around the yard doing some house work today. Monday it goes to work and I'll be able to use it.

I really love it so far. I'm still getting used to the color. Here are the pics of the orange and a black rap that sounded like a good idea the other night. Moral of the story is, If you drunk order a ESEE, you'll still end up with a good knife. Regardless of the color.:)

Me thinks a black Izzy 2 will be my future knife purchase.

I once got drunk, and 4 days later 12 machetes showed up at my door... ummm. everyone got condor vikings for xmas that year.... this year, everyone got izulas for the same reason, lol.

I just drunk ordered a barkie aurora like 20 minutes ago..... thanks Derrick!

bottom line is....I need a breathayzer on my paypal account :)

Damn beer/whiskey....BOOZE and knives!!!!!

BTW happy bday and 'grats on the orange Izzy!! (It is pretty damn sweet!!:) )
 
I used to be notorious for ordering fishing lures when I was drunk. One like the Helicopter lure and the Banjo Minnow. My roommates started taking my credit cards/wallet away from me after we would return from the bars hammered.

By the way, the Banjo Minnow actually worked great for smallmouth in the streams. Helicopter Lure, not so much.

Something tells me you should have my address. :D

Good score on the orange Izzy OP. :thumbup:

You could always strip the paint off and force a patina on it...

NOOOoooooo, don't do it! It would be a shame to get what I believe is a limited run color, only to strip it down.
I think the orange will grow on ya, thick of how easy it will be to relocate i you happen to drop it in the woods...

I'm sure if you does not grow on you to much, someone here would be willing to trade you for a color you want. Personally I dig the orange and will be ordering one soon along with a grey and an OD green.
 
I like the orange.

I have been wanting to get a black one and wrap it with orange paracord, but maybe now I'll get an orange one and wrap it with black paracord.

Hmm.... Decisions, decisions :D
 
I just had to check this out based on the humorous title of the thread. I think the OJ with black wrap looks great!
 
I have to admit it is a nice looking knife. The black paracord looks great on the orange! You would have to be blind to loose it. It just shouts out to you! Enjoy it.

Like it or not, the orange will grow on you. . . .

I will eventually strip and polish an Izula, but not this one. It is a "limited run, special edition, fancy, mines better than yours" color and I'll keep the safety orange for exactly that. A knife that you can see from space when you drop it in the woods. The color is growing on me. When sheathed, it is almost all black. And out the finish is very well done on the blade. From what others have said, the finish is very tough.

bottom line is....I need a breathayzer on my paypal account :)

You don't need a breathayzer, you just need my address. And maybe a new liver. :D

Thanks for all the complements on my new shiny knife! I think I'll repost these pics in the Paracord Wrap thread. I'm looking at the Isula 2 hard now.
